Our colleagues at Automobile Magazine spotted the updated 2015 Ford Expedition testing in southeast Michigan, and the full-size SUV appears to have a few visual changes beneath its camouflage tape.

Compared to the current Ford Expedition, this tester had a more upright front fascia and bore a taller, wider grille that appears inspired by the one that adorns the Ford F-150 and Ford F-Series Super Duty trucks. Out back, this Ford Expedition has a straight exhaust with an enormous tip, whereas the current SUV’s exhaust makes a 90-degree turn to exit on the passenger side of the vehicle.

Several reports predict that the 2015 Ford Expedition will ditch its 310 hp, 5.4-liter V-8 engine in favor of Ford’s 3.5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6. The engine, which delivers 365 hp in the Ford F-150, has proven to be more fuel-efficient than V-8s and could improve upon the Expedition’s current EPA ratings of 14/20 mpg (city/highway) with rear-wheel drive and 13/18 mpg with four-wheel drive. If Ford is testing a new engine in this Expedition, that could explain the different exhaust outlet. Of course, it’s also possible that the Ford Expedition will continue to offer its V-8 in addition to the EcoBoost V-6.

The 2015 Ford Expedition is unlikely to receive any other major updates, although it’s possibly Ford will finally install the MyFord Touch touchscreen system in the SUV — currently the Expedition offers Sync voice-recognition and a simple, dated navigation screen. The updated 2015 Ford Expedition could debut later this year or in spring 2014.
